I don't know how many people have been involved in pitch invasions. It's not as easy as you'd think, from a psychological perspective, to cross that white line unless you can clearly see that hundreds of others will do the same. A half arsed invasion would not look good.
Not quite as many numbers but myself and 3 others were lined up on the side of a freezing outdoor pool in winter. It had green stuff floating on it. At the count of 3 we agreed to jump in. We got to 3. Why only me? I guess you need a number of similarly gullible folk.
I think its obvious no protests at the Valley will influence The Rat or Pinocchio at all. However maybe a large protest at the Belgian Embassy would be a different story. Embarrassment with their own Government, negative publicity in their own country, perhaps affecting The Rats non football businesses.
If only we could think of a way of humiliating these nauseating pair of idiots in Belgium and affecting other parts of The Rats empire.
How about projecting a big 'Roland Duchatelet failing at football' image onto a Belgium building. Then capture the image and distributing / sending around Belgium media / Social Media.
Embarrassing Duchatelet in his home country and the wider public is definitely something he doesn't want.
I also think that a meet up by the poster / station and walk down to a protest prematch may help and keep momentum going. If that works out, a meet up and walk about somewhere else may be possible.
A season ticket day (to coincide with the club season ticket offer) to show the effect of the many season ticket holders who are not renewing under Duchatelet.
We need smoke bombs and the like (no flairs however!) ... Let's make it a visual spectacle, with thousands singing etc- not just a few masks etc. it needs to be like a Mardi Gras/Notting hill festival against the board and owner! It will get So much more publicity and look impressive!
Need to be power paint thrown around and thrown at the main entrance , plenty of flags waving and banners held aloft... We've got 2 weeks - lets organise something that will hit them visually as well as publicly!
Well when we get relegated expect virtually all the first team players to be moved on, there may be a couple of walking wounded who can't.
Next year will be nearly all academy players, it's as simple as that. That's Roland's dream a vastly reduced wage bill, which Pinnochio will happily carry out.
Under this regime we will never be competitive because that's not really the aim, they would prefer to be in the Championship but if not they don't really care that much as wages will be slashed as will staff numbers.
Under 21 side, well that's good we will win promotion back to the Championship with a good side like that group
I've never been one to boycott matches, BUT, what about the last home game of the season. My logic is simply based on the fact it's the last game, I'm pretty sure we won't be taking our relegation scrap down to the wire, so could be the game to boycott.
I'm also not up for clapping the team off the pitch if they do an end of season lap of failure (which they will). That's always irked me. I remember the season we went down from the Championship in 2009. I thought why the hell are we clapping them off, and why are they even bothering doing the lap.
I know you could look at it - they are thanking us, but I don't want their thanks. I wanted them to turn it on when it matters.....
I can just see it now Makienok lying in the centre circle face down for 10mins, numerous players getting their offspring onto the pitch (piss off). In the season we've had, if I see any of that, I'll be fuming.
I'm not sure how others feel, but it would really irk me if we got any of that this season should we go down.

If we are already relegated I would boycott the last home game.
